Journey into Mystery #636

Part of Marvel's 2012 "Shattered Heroes" banner, this issue brings "The Terrorism Myth" to its conclusion with a cover by Stephanie Hans that crackles with dark tension. A green-eyed young figure — wings of crimson and shadow spreading at his sides — is gripped from above by a masked, cloaked figure whose hands glow with ominous red energy at the center of his chest. The composition feels genuinely unsettling, with Kieron Gillen and Richard Elson's interior work promising the kind of mythologically charged storytelling that made this run so compelling.
